Dicta: Voice to Text

The words appear while you speak.

Dicta turns your voice into text as you talk, entirely inside your iPhone. No spinner, no cloud, no account. Tap a button, speak, and watch the transcript grow.

— WHY DICTA —

REAL TIME
Text appears as you dictate and settles at every pause. You never wait for the recording to finish before you can read anything.

100 % ON YOUR PHONE
Audio and text never leave the device. No servers, no accounts, no ads, no tracking. Works in airplane mode.

PAY ONCE, KEEP IT
No subscription. You buy Dicta Pro once and it's yours. Other dictation apps charge more than a hundred euros a year for the same thing.

AI INSIDE THE PHONE
Automatic titles for every note, filler-word cleanup, summaries as bullet points or minutes, and task detection you can send straight to Reminders. Powered by a local model or by Apple Intelligence — not a single word leaves the device.

YOUR NOTES, IN MARKDOWN
Every note is saved as a .md file inside the Files app, ready for Obsidian, Notes, Mail or whatever you use.

— LANGUAGES —

Dicta transcribes around a hundred languages. The interface is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Basque and Galician.

— PRIVACY, FOR REAL —

Dicta only connects to the internet when you ask it to: to download a transcription model (opening the models screen also checks for new ones, without sending any of your data) and, if you turn syncing on, to store your notes in YOUR own iCloud account. Everything else happens inside your iPhone: the recording, the transcription, the titles and the summaries. There is no server of ours, because none is needed.
